About caller identification
(CID)
The Caller ID with Call Waiting
features in this telephone let
you see who’s calling before you
answer the phone, even when
you’re on another call. These fea-
tures require services provided by
your local telephone company.
Contact your telephone service
provider if:
• you have both Caller ID and
Call Waiting, but as separate
services (you may need com-
bined service),
• you have only Caller ID service,
or only Call Waiting service, or
• you do not subscribe to any
Caller ID or Call Waiting ser-
vices but wish to try them now.
You can use this telephone with
regular Caller ID service, and you
can use its other features without
subscribing to either Caller ID
or combined Caller ID with Call
Waiting service. There may be fees
for these services, and these ser-
vices may not be available in all
areas.
The Caller ID features will work
only if both you and the caller are
in areas offering Caller ID service,
and if both telephone companies
use compatible equipment.
Telephone operating range
This cordless telephone operates
with the maximum power allowed
by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Even so, this
handset and telephone base can
communicate over only a certain
distance — which can vary with
the locations of the telephone
base and handset, the weather, and
the layout of your home or office.
If there is a call while the
handset is out of range
, it might
not ring — or if it does ring, the
call might not connect well when
you press
/PHONE/
FLASH
. Move
closer to the telephone base, then
press
/PHONE/
FLASH
to answer
the call.
If the handset moves out of
range during a telephone con-
versation
, there might be interfer-
ence. To improve reception, move
closer to the base.
If you move out of range with-
out pressing
/OFF/
CANCEL
, the
telephone will be disconnected
after five seconds.
